The simplicity of mobile issues before, like SIM network unlock PIN and changing themes has definitely escalated into something bigger today. With most phone manufacturers aim to address these sorts of concern, the evolution of high-quality smartphones has consequently changed these portable equipment’s sole purpose – to make communication easier for people.
With that said, it can be expected that the turnover of simple issues like SIM network unlock PIN to camera lens quality has dominated the manufacturers’ checklist of must-haves in a mobile phone. Indeed, this can be seen in the newest and incoming flagship units of well-known brands such as Apple’s iPhone X and Samsung’s Galaxy S9. Here are our few main points in the grandest mobile rivalry of the nearing future.
A Review on iPhone X’s Revolutionary Specs
Whether you have witnessed how the iPhone X turned its loyal fans go wild in its official announcement last September of this year, the final look and feel of the said mobile unit was a definite to go for.
To fill you in with the details, here are the major considerations on why the iPhone X is a must-have:
A bezel-less screen and a notch
In fact, this one is the boldest change Apple has ever implemented on its units. Not only did it make its screen a complete viewing platform, but it also has finally let go of its home button.
It used a water-resistant technology to keep the device from damages water can bring, incorporated a full, Super Retina OLED display (458 PPI) that measures up to 5.8 inches, and retained the True Tone display technology. All of which enabling this futuristic device to better address users’ needs when it comes to their viewing experience.
In addition, it included a notch on the upper part of the phone where a lot of sensors reside, enabling the face mapping technology possible.
Face ID
As we’ve mentioned above, Apple has finally let go of its iconic home button for swiping gestures, and its Touch ID fingerprint sensor for a Face ID. Indeed, it may seem a little bit messy at first, but Apple is deciding that people have to embrace the future. By that, they meant the iPhone X.
Through the Face ID, users will be able to unlock their phones with just a look at it. Apple made sure to integrate the finest technologies in the notch to make this security feature possible on its anniversary phone. True to their words, the phone is not only able to recognize you during the day, but also even in the night with its flood illuminator that projects light to your face to make the sensor work.
This feature is also applicable for Apple Pay and third-party apps that support Touch ID.
A11 Bionic processor
This processor, as introduced in the iPhone 8, will also appear in the iPhone X. One can expect that an iPhone performance will never be the same again, as it includes:
2 performance cores
4 high-quality efficiency cores
exclusive self-designed GPU
Additionally, the most look forwarded artificial intelligence powered animojis. Need we say more?
Dual-lens camera
This thing about dual-lens cameras is prevalent over premium smartphones today. Apple, in turn, has included one for them, but in a really exciting manner. It has equipped the iPhone X with two 12MP rear cameras that both features an optical image stabilization (OIS). These sensors allow the camera to avoid noise and take better high-quality photos in a faster manner. You will never go wrong with Apple’s products when it comes to photos, indeed.
With this information, one can say that the iPhone X is one of the future phones people will finally get to experience. The overall innovation in the said anniversary phone of Apple has opened a whole new level of mobile experience in their newest product.
A Sneak Peek on Samsung Galaxy S9’s Leaked Specs
Just a few months after the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+‘s release, people can’t help but wonder about the S9’s look and feel. Not to mention that Apple has also released the official look of their anniversary model. Here are a few details we collected from the leaked information of Samsung Galaxy S9 as per Trusted Reviews writing.
An all-around curve
According to Trusted Reviews, a Korean news outlet has reported that Samsung’s working on a lamination process to make phone screens curved on all four sides. This particular information goes to show that Samsung is particularly focused on transforming its flagship Galaxy unit’s display to a full edge-to-edge, almost nonexistent bezel, curved infinity display.
The in-screen fingerprint sensor
Along with the four curved edges, Samsung seems to also let go of its signature Home button in place of an in-screen fingerprint sensor. (Why is everyone doing that?) This one’s good news though, since Samsung will also have to let go of the guilt-inducing smudge-prone fingerprint scanner beside its rear camera lens.
The 7-nanometer processor
We have two things here: a Snapdragon 845 chipset (newest of its line, however, not entirely guaranteed) and the 7nm processor. Just imagine how small that is.
The thing about the Snapdragon 845 chipset is that it’ll surely create a new mobile experience out of the device given the speed and a maximum number of applications it can process. Along with it is the 7nm CPU architecture that’s expected to be integrated into the device. This little number defines the distance between each transistor that makes computing tasks to take place. Simply put, the smaller the number, the more transistors can fit on a single chip – which only means a much better performance that you can expect from the device.
The Exynos chipset
What may be a guaranteed part of the new Samsung Galaxy unit is the new Exynos chipset deployed with an LTE modem. As reports say, it is a preparation for the upcoming 5G era of network speed given the emphasized 1.2GBps optimal download speed.
Thus, no more room for SIM network unlock PIN issues, hopefully.
Key Takeaway
With these points given, despite that of Samsung Galaxy S9’s unconfirmed specs, these two mobile models are definitely moving into the future through integrating the latest phone technologies and solutions. It may need some getting used to, but it’s still coming – whether it’s today or two years after.
Moreover, it doesn’t matter if you are pro Face ID or in-screen fingerprint sensor – what matters now is that you are going to experience a whole new level of convenience through your smartphone unit. You can wait for November to buy an iPhone X or a few months after the official announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S9 on February 2018, feel free to choose!

How do you know you’ve already purchased the right phone for your needs? We know! That’s when you get to do everything with your mobile – bring it whenever, wherever, and snap the best shots to treasure through time. Our pick? The Samsung Galaxy S7 from MetroPCS. Not only will you get high-quality specs for your mobile phone, but you also get own it in the best deal yet. Here are its priced details that you shouldn’t miss!
Display and Design
If we’ll talk about design, there’s no way you can go wrong with Samsung products. They are premium, smartly designed, and are technically adept with the latest technologies out there.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 sports a similar display with its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S6, especially with the AMOLED screen size and resolution of 5.1 inches and 2,560 by 1440 respectively. This time, however, the brightness volume has been increased to a significant level – thus, making the S7 screen even more highly visible for users.
It also appeared the same in terms of the rear panel’s design, only that S7 featured a thicker, more rounded, narrower back than that of the S6 to house a slightly bigger battery and avoid the camera lens from looking bumpy. Aside from that, it still has the same metal-glass unibody overall, along with Samsung’s signature home button at the front, a Micro USB charging port, and a sensor.
Another point about S7’s design is that it came with Samsung’s waterproofing technology rated IP68. This meant that the device is fully protected from water spills, splashes, or dunks that can either slow or damage regular phones.
Camera
When it comes to camera quality, Samsung never fell behind. It has the right camera specs to achieve a picture-perfect shot at any time of the day.
The S7 has stepped up its game with a dual-pixel rear camera, thus, making low-light pictures easier to capture. It has integrated a 12MP camera despite the S6 being 16. You might have wondered, why? The 12MP camera included larger, higher number of focus pixels enabling the said camera to focus faster and perform better in low light.
It also featured a CMOS 5MP front camera for snapping smooth, post-worthy selfies. If you have a problem taking selfies in dark places, you may also make use of its Selfie Flash mode to capture your selfie shots better.
With regards to its video shooting capability, the Samsung Galaxy S7 can carry a 4,000 resolution at 30 fps from its rear camera and a 1080p from the selfie, which only means one thing: a good alternative for shooting travel documentaries!
Connectivity and Network Performance
For MetroPCS mobile phones, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is worth the contract. Aside from its built-in connectivity protocols Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 4.2, ANT+, NFC, GPS GLONASS, and USB 2.0, it is also integrated with Samsung’s Smart Switch that enables a faster PC sync.
Moreover, its network is also deployed with LTE connection supporting fast browsing, and streaming online. It also supports good voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) and Wi-Fi calling.
Processor and Battery
In this time and era, mobile users are more informed of the specs that they should focus on. The good news is, Samsung knows that. Thus, in this flagship phone, a user can expect that the smartphone’s free of lags and can very well launch apps without slowing down. Thanks to the S7, it is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 clocked at 2.15GHz processor that fulfills the needs of the majority of mobile users.
Moreover, the S7 is also equipped with an impressively huge battery capacity of 3000mAh matching up to the heavy specs of said model.
Software and Memory
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is also revved up with Samsung’s exclusive custom UI skin along with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow on top of it. It included restyled icons and a simpler home screen and app drawer customization to make it user-friendlier. Among its interesting features is the Always-on screen, which allowed users to peek on the time, battery status, notifications, and the calendar without accessing the phone wholly, thus, minimizing consumed battery life.
In order to make the unit user-friendlier, Samsung allowed a maximum of 32GB for internal storage along with a 200GB external memory slot. This is so people can freely store in photos, videos, and other multimedia files in the comfort of their mobile.
Good thing, MetroPCS made sure default apps didn’t compromise the benefits of the built-in memory.
What’s New with the Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T1)?
The era of huge, full screen mobile phones has dominated every user’s palm. However, the majority continues to cringe over not being able to fully hold these types of phones. With that said, Samsung offers a completely upgraded version of their flagship phones: a full HD Super AMOLED screen with a narrower body through the face of Samsung Galaxy S7.
Moreover, it also featured a solution to the one of the most common issue – water. Through its rated IP68 water resistant technology integrated in the S7, it will be easier to keep the unit away from damages of water spills, splashes, or dunks that could severely destruct a phone. Even a cup of coffee spilled onto your S7 won’t be a problem anymore!
What would users look forward in Samsung’s flagship unit is the camera specs. For Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung decided to integrate a 12MP dual-pixel camera along with fast autofocus function enabling the unit to capture great photos in low light. The 5MP selfie camera also features a Selfie Flash mode, thus, enabling users to better capture photos during nighttime.
Furthermore, purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S7 included the Gear VR headset as promotion during its early launch. It made the unit more likeable especially that the VR app featured tons of movies, videos, games, and others allowing the high-tech equipment to be enjoyed by users in a whole new level of mobile experience.

What makes iPhone X a critical buy during the holidays?
It is the smartphone of the future considering its futuristic design and overall specs.
It stepped up its game in mobile photography with DSLR-like and face mapping solutions.
It is limited in stocks so buyers may consume everything the moment it’s released.
If you are planning to just upgrade and unlock your iPhone 4S to at least see something new from your device, don’t. In the first place, smartphones are a great investment, a quality device, that is. Hence, despite the price, if you need that much of a phone then you must invest in one. Perhaps, Apple’s anniversary phone, the iPhone X?
Apple has unlocked iPhone X’s extravagant specs earlier this year, and truth be told, it has sent the world abuzz. Well, no wonder! Apple’s known for its quality devices and high technology solutions. Thus, people are anticipating its first official release on November 3. However, if you were to buy the iPhone X, remember not to buy it during the holidays. Why? Here are some of the reasons we’ve observed:
It’s the smartphone of the future, admit it.
Have you seen iPhone X’s design? It’s superb and something to look out for. No, we’re not hyping it up. The iPhone X itself can attest to the fact that its overall design and build is a total upgrade from its predecessors.
Let’s start with its bezel-less panel. Indeed, many are looking forward to iPhone X being a full screen, no buttons needed. Today, as the said device was already introduced to the public, many were captured by its beauty. No bezels meant a full viewing panel and gaming platform!
Moving on, no bezels and home buttons meant: no touch ID. In the iPhone X, Apple seems to experiment with a technology without the power of fingerprints, rather a person’s face through their face ID facial recognition system. Whether this is a wise move or not, only time could tell. However, what’s great about it is that we are moving further into the future of technology – something iPhone X can let people feel in the present time.
Lastly, it’s the era of OLED – a better way to view things through your mobile phone!
Mobile photography has never been this good.
We can’t deny it, but mobile photography via Apple products is just surreal. The lens it uses from the previous products alone was already of high-quality, what more now that it upgraded to the dual lens trend. Let’s break down the details.
A 12MP telephoto camera used for 2x optical zoom. While the telephoto camera was already integrated into the iPhone 8 Plus, the said version in the iPhone X is notably Plus, it features optical image stabilization (OIS) that reduces blurred snaps caused by wobbly hand-induced camera shake.
A 7MP selfie camera with Face ID technology. With the recent popularity of iPhone 8 Plus’ Portrait Mode (snaps only available on the rear camera), it can be expected that the iPhone X will level this up with its integration of facial recognition technology by moving this in the selfie department. Isn’t it great?
Integration of Apple’s exclusively designed image signal processor (ISP). Apple has been making progress in the technologies it uses in its products. One of which is its self-designed ISP, which increases speed and efficiency of pixel processing, low-light autofocus, and noise reduction. Thus, addressing most of the common concerns of mobile photographers in camera specs.
It’s so limited in stocks!
Aside from the high technology solutions that Apple has integrated with its newest super flagship mobile unit, here comes the saddening truth: its limited supply.
It may be common for all iPhones to be limited in stocks upon its first release in the market. However, it seemed that the iPhone X unlocks a new level into the ‘the least number of supply’ in iPhone releases. As explained in Notebook Check’s website, the problem may be due to the difficulty in the supply of Face ID and OLED production. Well, seems valid.
Key Takeaway
There you go! It is undeniable why Apple fans are itching to buy its anniversary phone. It’s the epitome of future on mobiles with the high-tech solutions integrated into the unit, plus the brand’s already proven and tested for quality products. Hence, also why it is critical to purchase the new Apple flagship.
You can always try to purchase one on its official release on November 3 or onwards. You will surely get one if you must, right?

LG has stocked another unit that will definitely be a best-seller. This high-end mid-range smartphone has the right specs for an affordable price, bringing the hype on the K-series. If you are interested in buying the LG K10, here’s an overview of its extensive specs in detail.
Design and Display
While LG may have set its standards on mid-range phones, K10 seemed to overwhelm mobile enthusiasts with its modern design. It looked sleek and smooth with its polycarbonate bodice, buttonless frame, and the rear camera at the back with the volume rocker and power button, looking similarly like one of the company’s premium mobile units – LG G4. Though, it somehow differs from the latter when you flip for the phone’s rear since it shows a refreshing pebble design that may be a new design language for the company’s units, or the K-series lineup, perhaps.
The K10 also shined for its grand scale 5.3-inch IPS in-cell LCD display panel stretched along with its 2.5D Arc Glass design for an edge-free feel. It’s spacious, touch capacitive, glossy, and makes a perfect go-to device for a viewing experience. Though many would doubt its 720-pixel resolution, the device can definitely speak for itself.
Camera
For its price, LG K10 can undoubtedly capture great snaps and shoot quality videos with its 8MP main and 5MP front camera.

To make the unlock process easier, the Mobile Device Unlock app had been pre-installed by two major carriers in the US, T- Mobile and MetroPCS. Through this app, we are now able to remotely register any IMEI as “Eligible” in your carrier’s database without the need for an unlock code. However, this only works on compatible devices, please visit list at the bottom.
Good news! Turn around is less than 2 business days!
How does it work?
Select one of these two services below to unlock with “Mobile Device Unlock“
From that Application list, tap Device Unlock.
Tap Continue.
Choose the desired device unlock type: Permanent Unlock
If successful, restart the device to apply the settings.
Note: If you do not restart the device, you will have a persistent alert in the notification tray.)
You need not visit any T-Mobile or MetroPCS store to get your device unlocked. The Mobile Device Unlock app allows an unlock request right where you are at the moment.
However, please note the following preconditions for us to successfully unlock your device:
1. The Mobile Device Unlock app works only with MetroPCS and T-Mobile devices. Any device from another carrier will not unlock using this process.
2. Make sure your phone is “clean”; not blacklisted nor reported as lost or stolen. We don’t have any blacklist “cleaning” service and there’s no refund if your phone is blacklisted.
3. Before you order, make sure that the error you are getting when trying to use the app for unlocking is, “Unlock Failed: This mobile wireless device is not eligible for unlocking. For Device Unlock eligibility details, please go online or contact Customer Care.“
4. If you are getting a different error, please check troubleshooting steps before you order any unlock from us. We will not be able to fulfill any unlock request unless your other phone issues are fixed.
6. Make sure your phone can communicate with “Device Unlock App” server BEFORE you make any unlock order from us. If you are getting a “Serving not responding, please try again later” error, it means that your phone isn’t communicating with your carrier’s server. Check troubleshooting steps for more.
7. Make sure your phone is with its original software and IMEI. If you installed a custom software prior to your unlock order, it will not be possible for the app to work. Also, make sure that your phone has the latest software. There’s no refund for unsupported software fault.
8. Before starting the unlock process on your mobile phone, make sure that you have an active 3G/ 4G/ LTE or wifi connection. If your internet connection isn’t reliable, there’s a possibility that the unlock will be unsuccessful. We can’t retract the process, so we need to do it right the first time. There’s no refund for an unreliable internet or data fault.
9. Once you receive an email notification from us, make sure you follow all the necessary instructions or order prerequisites, take note that it varies per carrier, but we always ask everyone to try to unlock their device using the app before proceeding with their order. This way we will know the exact error that you are getting for us to know whether your device can be unlocked with us.
10. If in case, you have not followed all the instructions or have withheld important information from us that caused the unlock process to be unsuccessful, we will be unable to provide any refund.
11. Make sure your device memory is managed properly, and clear all cache.
12. Always restart your device after the unlock process. You’ll have to see a pop up every now and then.

“SIM Network Unlock PIN” error happens when you insert a different sim card that is not from your phone’s locked-to carrier. Your phone detects this as an error because your carrier installed a software on your phone that makes it impossible to work with a different carrier.
Only an unlock code from your current carrier or from a legitimate third party phone unlock service provider can remove that error. If you plan to travel overseas or switch carriers, you need to make sure that your phone is already unlocked for you to be able to use it.
We help make the unlocking process easier for you, and we want to make sure that you see the whole picture and understand the process. If you have any questions about the unlocking process you can check our FAQ page for you to be guided.
Getting rid of this error is no magic; it needs 1 to 10 business days of pure patience. If you want to unlock your phone, here’s how to get started:
Get your phone’s IMEI.
Go to this page. Select your Phone Brand and Model #.
Fill in the necessary field s of information.
Proceed to Checkout.
Wait for our email confirmation.
If you already received an email confirmation from us, you can follow carefully any instructions set or you can contact our customer service email and chat support if you have any questions. Once you have successfully entered the code on your phone it will be automatically unlocked.

Blacklisted phones are phones that were either reported lost or stolen by its owners and have been enlisted in a national or international blacklist database of service providers and carriers; such that a smartphone which is blacklisted in the USA can no longer be used in all US carriers unless proven found or retrieved by the owner.
Despite the bad reputation, these blacklisted phones are being sold widespread in many e-commerce sites, and a lot of victims have been left with a device that’s good as trash in their country. You’re lucky if you bought a blacklisted phone and live halfway around the world because there’s a chance you can use it in another country.
Unfortunately, carriers are pretty good at catching thieves. Even if you use a different sim card or switch to a different carrier, they will receive your IMEI data and they automatically scan that in the national blacklisted database.
You’re lucky if you can make a call or two, but once they figure out that you are using a blacklisted phone, they will automatically block any attempt to connect to their network and send the information to the police.
You certainly can use some time with the police officer trying to answer difficult questions to prove your innocence.
Phone Unlock vs Phone Unblock
Did you know that your phone can be both locked to a carrier and blacklisted at the same time? So, you might be asking, “what if I have purchased that kind of phone, will I be ever able to use it?”
Yes, you can, but of course, there are a lot of limitations. As mentioned, you can use it when you bought it in a different country with a different carrier. You can, in fact, get your phone unlocked with us or with any third party phone unlock service provider.
If in the event that we find out that our customers are having a blacklisted phone, we always set proper expectations about its limitations. We can only relate to people who unfortunately bought such phones, but we cannot do anything to get their phone’s IMEI “clear.”
On the other hand, unblocking the phone or “clearing” it’s IMEI, as some people would like to call it, is illegal. That being said, don’t fall for any “unblocking” service online because the chances that they are fraudsters are high, and you also don’t want to get involved with an international organized syndicate, would you?
Now if you, unfortunately, bought a blacklisted phone, report your seller right away to the e-commerce hosting website (eBay, Amazon, etc) where you got it from. If you bought it from a legitimate and well-known website, you may be given consumer protection privileges, like a refund, etc.
Note: We don’t encourage you to buy blacklisted phones, and we only offer a chance to give you a redeeming option to be able to use it. Unlocking the phone is legal, but “unblocking” it or altering its IMEI status is illegal. We are not in any way connected to any organization that does this to people. We offer our services to everyone assuming that it is with good intentions. You can also check this article, to know more about blacklisted phones.
